Newcastle transfer gossip as Pulisic addresses future amid Maddison and Tielemans 'double swoop'

Here is your latest 4am Newcastle United transfer digest.

Pulisic's 'fresh start'

Christian Pulisic was reduced to a peripheral player at Chelsea under Thomas Tuchel, and was linked with a summer exit. Newcastle and Leeds United were both credited with an interest in the USA international, but the forward ultimately stayed at Stamford Bridge.

Rumours continue to swirl around Pulisic's future, with recent reports suggesting the Blues would be open to a £31.5 million sale of the 24-year-old. However, the forward himself has now insisted he is looking forward to a 'fresh start' in the capital under new manager Graham Potter.

Speaking in the wake of the USA's friendly draw with Saudi Arabia, Pulisic told reporters: "I'm feeling good going back, honestly. I have a fresh start now, and I'm excited to play for the new manager.

"So I'm just looking forward to it. I just have to prove myself, as everyone does, and as I've done before."

'Double swoop' on Leicester

Reports in recent days have indicated Newcastle are mulling over a fresh approach for James Maddison in the upcoming window. Leicester City rejected two summer approaches, but might be more open to a sale with the attacking midfielder down to the final 18 months of his contract.

Now, 90min claim the Magpies have both Maddison and Foxes team-mate Youri Tielemans 'in their sights' next year. The Belgian international is currently set to become a free agent in the summer, with Arsenal among the clubs linked.

The report outlines Tielemans has no intention of extending his contract at the King Power Stadium, and Leicester are open to cashing in on the midfielder in January. However, Newcastle will not be the only Premier League suitors for either player.
